The author does a great job in creating the time period and being true to the life of a seventh grader. I just love how grows in maturity and with his relationship with his teacher. It had to be scary knowing you were going to spend one-on-one time with your seventh grade teacher. While some behavior is not great the warm feeling overcome that.

An Okay Book
I think that it is a great idea but horribly written. It is interesting but it skips a lot. The rats are a bit freaky but other than that there isn't anything that scary. It has a little bit of Shakespeare in it but it mainly only focuses on the "curses" that aren't bad at all.
